Reports Report 994d (Event 994-2011)

Observer
Name Evan
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks At first the object looked like a large, bright star going across the sky. Then it flared up and was surrounded by a bright light. The bright aura around the object was about the size of 1/2 of the size of tonight\'s moon in the sky. About a second or two after I first saw the object it disappeared behind a tree, heading in what seemed like a northward flight path.
